UBC Workplace Experiences Survey: Now Open

We are asking for your involvement and support to help achieve survey strong participation, particularly from faculty. Strong participation gives us the representative data necessary to better identify and focus on priorities that will make the greatest difference to faculty and staff, both locally and across the institution. This effort to understand faculty and staff experiences and needs has strong support from the President’s Office.

The survey was last run in 2011, and through considerable consultation with faculty and staff we have evolved and refined the survey questionnaire significantly. Most importantly, we have developed tailored versions of questionnaire for faculty and staff to ensure that the questions and resulting data is meaningful and relevant.

Similar to 2011, unit-level reports will be available, provided there are at least 10 responses. You can use this data to better understand faculty and staff experiences in your portfolio and support your strategic planning efforts. To learn about institutional initiatives resulting from the 2011 survey findings, please visit: http://www.focusonpeople.ubc.ca/workplace-experiences-survey/2011-survey-actions/.

Most faculty and staff will receive an email invitation to participate from Ipsos Reid, UBC’s third-party survey consultant on Monday, Nov. 3. For those without a UBC email account, options to complete the survey online or a paper version are available. by contacting Peter Godman: peter.godman@ubc.ca.
